From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scoutsā¢. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
You just opened up a can of worms. Especially with @cyure
. Sheāll be mailing you (3) collated binders (the 3ā ones)
Agree. Came off very authentic
You know it! I already have a running list of questions going. Just in case the opportunity presents itself. Just saying.You just opened up a can of worms. Especially with @cyure
I think getting into the process/evolution of things is super cool - concept drawings, music demos, etc. - so it would be rad to see some of the first drawings/builds that are talked about around the 18:30 mark.
It seemed that those might be shared in due time. Maybe at the factory vehicle pickup studio.
Listening to the podcast while out working today and I enjoyed the podcast and Iām really looking forward to More from Scout but the two things that struck me while listening, which are probably more just personal things
The first was anytime years were mentioned in a year a year and a half or two years sounds like forever, but then I remember Iāve still got a decent amount of saving I can do in that time
Second was just the wording through a lot of the podcast was very heavily leaning on the idea of EREV and just something about that was bothering me. The vehicles will largely be the same, but I still feel like they would be different enough to warrant talking about them, I donāt know how to word it any better than that. It was just sitting with me while Iāve been driving around.

For those of us who haven't the time yet today, but still have the curiosity, what are the key learnings/new tidbits of information that was announced/discovered today? Is there a quick cliffnotes/bullet point list?
Also, perhaps embarrassingly, I have no idea what ROMR Adventures is, other than apparently we have them here on the forum (Oh hey there Casey, sorry for this akward moment :O).
I didnāt know that Jamie had a Scout before he came to work for Scout!
I think I also noticed someone else from the forums Scout in the ROMR Adventures B roll. 5:40 - 5:52

In previous videos/podcasts ROMR had talked quite a bit about EREV and the potential there, especially since they are fans of getting out there offroad/overlanding/boondocking. BEVs are pretty straightforward, but EREV is newer with a lot of questions, so we talked about that a bit more. Plus we recorded this the day Scott Keough talked about the number of EREV reservations and that we are trying to get it to market sooner than later (development started later). Lots of moving pieces on our end and never a dull moment.
Anyone else think Jamie looks like Tony Hawk? Has that been mentioned before? Hahaha
No worries at all. I'm more surprised to see so many people already watching and commenting.We're a piddly YouTube channel covering autos/adventure travel/EVs/whatever is holding our interest at the moment. My brother Brian is the interviewer in this video.
We're very excited about what Scout is doing and we've both been reservation holders since launch(Harvesters). Because of that we've talked about Scout a lot on the channel and they've been some of our most popular videos.
Jamie and the Scout team has been kind enough to engage with us when hey can.
If you haven't seen any of our stuff you might enjoy this one. This is our most popular video of all time, and by far the coolest thing we've ever gotten a chance do because of this little passion project.

Hadnāt thought about it until you said it. Iāll say yes-but in a complimentary way
I liked the podcast when the three of you discussed what you reserved. And since we now donate money to the Alma mater my wife took interest as well-which is a compliment-sheās burned out with hearing about Scout

I have a hard time telling when you are joking sometimes J.
